"Excellent tutor!"
- Lada, Riverside, CT on 10/19/16Lisa is extremely knowledgeable and patient. She breaks down the topic to the most detail level to adjust to the student learning capabilities.
She is very patient and besides the topic covered directs the student to utilize best strategies to make learning simpler and more fun.
In addition, she has a great personality and we are very happy with her. Highly recommend!
"Amazing Tutor!"
- Christine, Scarsdale, NY on 6/5/17Lisa is a wonderful tutor! I have had tutors before, but never had a tutor as great as Lisa. She is very kind and patient and works above and beyond to help you succeed. She is very responsible and well qualified. She has helped me tremendously with my finance class and because of her help, I was able to get an A in this class.
"Patient, easy going, knowlegable"
- Jasmina, Greenwich, CT on 12/3/16Lisa has been working with our son for about one month and we already see results. He is very difficult - stubborn and distracted, but Lisa has "worked around" and made him put qualitative practice effort.
"A Prayer Answered"
- Olga, Bronx, NY on 3/26/14Lisa is very kind, patient, and attentive. My daughter looks forward to meeting with Lisa each week and is gaining the confidence she has been lacking in math due to Lisa's help!
"Fantastic tutor!"
- Maria, Mamaroneck, NY on 10/25/13I decided it to get a tutor because I was getting ready to take my GED math test and I only had two and half weeks to prepare. Lisa was the perfect tutor. She is organized, smart, nice and super patient. She worked so hard with me in every lesson and she always make sure that I understood everything. Lisa has many wonderful techniques for teaching. I'm just glad that I had the chance
to get her as my tutor.
"Excellent tutor."
- Ann, Mamaroneck, NY on 9/1/13Lisa has only been working with my daughter for a few weeks, but I have been impressed with her enthusiasm, dedication and the way she has structured the lessons. It is hard for my daughter to stay focused when she is bored, but she always seems to be alert and engaged while working with Lisa. My daughter and Lisa share a love for animals, and Lisa has used this to bond with my daughter and keep up her interest level. Lisa is also a very caring person, and when she found out that I had terrible back pain, she went out of her way to bring me a natural remedy to try to ease the pain.
Since school has not yet started, I have not had the opportunity to assess my daughter's progress, but I am confident that, as she continues to work with Lisa, I will see improvements with her reading and writing.
"Great tutor"
- Kozue, Riverside, CT on 9/1/13I took her lesson the other day. We chat with what did we during the past week before we start lesson. I think that she finds my weak point of English while we chat. She understands my weak point well, she teach me exactly. In addition, I enjoy taking her lessons because she is friendly.
"Great tutor for TOEFL test!"
- Saori, White Plains, NY on 8/31/13I feel that I finally found the right tutor to prepare me for the upcoming TOEFL test. After we talked only briefly, on the first day we met, she immediately spotted my weak points. She is very experienced and knowledgeable about the TOEFL test. She is also very patient, friendly and easy to work with. She gave me an assignment based on what areas I needed to strengthen. The TOEFL test requires very fast thinking and speaking skills. Even when I was working under pressure; speaking about my various personal experiences, I still enjoyed her lesson. I would like to keep training with her, because I am sure that I am in good hands.
"Good tutor but unaccommodating with scheduling"
- Raavi, Scarsdale, NY on 8/26/13Lisa is very good at identifying weakness and helping to build on them. She is very patient and innovative in her teaching methodology. Since she has started giving Spanish lessons to my son (in high school) his grades have considerably improved in a very short time and he has become more confident of his language skills. The issue I have found with her is that she is unaccommodating in her schedule. It is hard to find a reasonable time for classes and it is almost impossible to move classes because her days are packed. I was most disappointed when my son was late for the class and in spite of informing her, she charged me for a full lesson and left without teaching. I had to let her go at that point.
Its true, I am very patient and innovative in my teaching methods, but there is a discrepancy pertaining to the scheduling. My days are not packed as stated, but my schedule does depends on the needs of ALL my students. In this instance, it was never made clear to me that I had to stay and wait for 45 minutes for the second student to come. In addition, the son had a full summer schedule leaving little time when we could do the session. This was a 2 part session, with the second part beginning at 630P, but because of the lateness that would put the lesson from 715P to 815P. I could not stay beyond the original session time due to other commitments. In addition, my decision to no longer tutor there was ALSO based on the fact that this was NOT the first time that they were NOT able to make their session. I forgave the missing session LAST TIME, but this time only billed for the time that they were not able to keep their commitment. They never made it clear that I had to stay for the second part of the session. My policy is clearly stated on my site. As many of my long time students know, I often stay longer than I bill for, and I expect my students to keep their commitments, as I am committed to them.
"Amazing Tutor!!!"
- Cliff, Armonk, NY on 8/20/13Lisa is the best tutor in the world!!! We have hired many tutors for our children but none compare to Lisa. She is truly the greatest!!!
"Great tutor!"
- Maria, South Salem, NY on 4/12/13Lisa B. has worked with my son who is a freshman in high school. She has worked with him in two subjects, Earth Science and Algebra. Lisa is well prepared for her sessions. She has him do examples, provides my son with handouts and also makes recommendations for other resources to help him in both subjects. We are very pleased.
"Great Tutor"
- William, Rye, NY on 4/10/13Lisa has been working with our son for the last 3 months - she is very patient with him and he has shown improvement in his schoolwork and his handwriting. Lisa is punctual and caring - we are enjoying working with her.
"Interesting & Fun"
- David, Carle Place, NY on 3/30/13My wife is benefiting greatly from the tutoring sessions provided by Lisa. She has the ability to make the lesson interesting and fun, also exhibiting patience with the difficult task of teaching reading and writing. Both my wife and myself would strongly recommend employing Lisa to any prospective students wishing to improve in all facets of English speaking and comprehension.
"Lisa B. is amazing"
- Aleksandra, Bronx, NY on 12/7/12She is one of the most patient, caring, understanding tutors I ever had. I wish I had her back in high school and before. I have only had her 2 times already for a total of 4 or 5 hours. I think she is brilliant and kind. Very funny and insightful. She really does care about helping her students succeed. I want to thank you so much already for the help you have given me. See ya again soon.
"Lisa is a Great Tutor!"
- Pia, Scarsdale, NY on 11/28/12Lisa is a great tutor and a wonderful person to work with. She has been working with my son for two months now and my son likes her a lot. She is kind and patient and works well with him. My son has a little dyslexia so Lisa's expertise and skill helps him a lot to make progress with his writing and reading skills. We are very happy with Lisa's work and look forward to a long happy tutoring support with her.
"Great tutor!"
- Jennifer, White Plains, NY on 10/29/12It's only been 3 sessions with my 13 year old daughter and what a difference! I can't wait for my daughter to take her first quiz. I love Lisa she is very patient and explains things very well.
"Very good tutor."
- Jae Hoon, Hempstead, NY on 8/1/12I am an ESL student in a law school. I have wanted to reduce my accent. She has helped me a lot to reduce my accent.
"Great Tutor"
- Nancy, Yonkers, NY on 7/27/12Lisa has been working with my daughter since 12/2011. She works on reading, writing, spelling,and math. My daughter has shown some improvement and is always happy and proud of her self at the end of their session.
"Great and patient tutor"
- Marie, Stamford, CT on 7/25/12Lisa has been great with my daughter who is about to enter 1st grade. Lisa is extremely patient and as a result of the tutoring, I think my daughter will be ready for 1st grade. My daughter is finally catching up to other children her age and she actually looks forward to her tutoring sessions. We'll keep up with the tutoring through the school year!
I really enjoy working with this child. She is making great progress everytime! I can see her confidence growing and she is now becoming a leader!
"Good Tutor. Helped Daughter Pass Math and Science Final"
- Nelson, Bronx, NY on 7/20/12We retained Lisa late in the school year to help our daughter prepare for finals. Our daughter was struggling in Earth Science and Math. Lisa was very patient and focused. She used supplemental materials to help explain difficult topics. Lisa proved to be extremely helpful. My daughter passed both her finals.
We had limited time to turn it around, since she has been getting test grades in the 50's and below. But, she pulled it off with an 80 on her Earth Science test!
Then, I found out that her Math results were even better! Way to go!!
I don't work miracles, but I sure try to.
"Talented but not Dependable"
- Lisa, Scarsdale, NY on 7/15/12I hired this tutor in late May early June 2012. I stressed how important it was that we take every advantage of the summer months since my son goes away to school. She managed to see my son once in six weeks. Even then, she attempted to postponed the session after having pick the time herself and having me arrange the entire day around her. She then hurried through because she wanted to get to White Plains before the lunch rush to handle personal business. She over billed and when I questioned her about it her reply was she had to account for every minute and she had taken a few minutes to speak to me. She also waited until she arrived to state what she needed to have with regard to past work and tests. I thought a better prepared tutor would have asked for that in advance, especially if you are going to charge for every minute. The next session, almost two weeks later, she calls twenty minutes after the set time and says she is one town over with an overheated car and wants me to come get her. She becomes very upset when I tell her I can't. I then inform her it seems things were not going to work out. She then leaves a very nasty message on my voice mail. I simply feel this tutor was just too overwhelmed and should not have taken my son on. The good; I thought she was a good Spanish tutor and so did my son, at least based on the one session. Unfortunate.
There are a lot of discrepancies here to what actually took place. My record speaks for itself. I am always professional, kind, and patient, but I cannot please everyone. It's unfortunate that her son did not get the help he needed. We only did one session and it was rated: GOOD.
"Meticulous and dedicated!"
- Guru, Pelham, NY on 3/17/12As a complete beginner with about 6 months of light Spanish learning behind me, I hired Lisa to help me create and deliver a business presentation in Spanish during my trip to South America (Argentina and Peru). After 16 sessions in less than 2 months, I'm very pleased with how the presentation has turned out, and how my confidence for delivering it has increased. Using her native knowledge of Spanish, and her broad interests and experience, Lisa helped me craft a presentation that is clear and simple to understand, even though it covers some fairly involved ideas. Thanks to her meticulous approach, we have refined this short presentation to use just the right words. Lisa also helped me to improve my pronunciation and general knowledge of Spanish. I leave on my trip tomorrow, and I look forward to using this presentation every chance I get. Thank you, Lisa!
Thank you, Guru for your kind words! I am very proud of you in your efforts to do the presentation totally in Spanish. That is why they did such a great article on you in the Business Section of the New York Times! I know you strive to be the best and you are!
"Fantastic and patient tutor!"
- Taina, New York, NY on 12/24/11Our son, who is a high school senior, has been struggling with college applications - essays in particular. From the minute she sat down, Lisa was able to help him focus and develop his essays in the most patient and thoughtful way. We were quite surprised as to how much work was done in two hours with no complaints from our son. I would highly recommend Lisa, especially for very reluctant writers.
So glad to hear that your son was able to get into Trinity, Skidmore, Hobart William Smith, SUNY Binghamton and will pursue his studies at Macaulay Honors College at Hunter with a scholarship. I knew how critical those applications were. I was honored to be able to help!
"A great tutor."
- Tenzin, Forest Hills, NY on 9/6/11Lisa is a great tutor. I am working on my critical reading skill for the October SAT. She has good understanding of SAT and comes with material that are prepared and helpful.
"Great Tutor -Very patient and methodical in teaching skills"
- Liz, White Plains, NY on 9/5/11Lisa is an amazing tutor and more than a tutor, she is a fantastic coach. Lisa is encouraging and patient and has a strategic approach to her teaching. Lisa builds the foundations of learning a new subject by teaching the basic building blocks that are key to gaining understanding in any subject. Lisa also uses methods that help you practice what you have learned and apply it which is a very useful way to test what you are learning.
Her methods are effective and she is very personable in her nature. Lisa adds very dynamic elements to her teaching like sharing history of a subject area and picture associations which are extremely effective and Fun!
Lisa cares a great deal about her students and she makes a personal investment into the lives and learning of her students!
Lisa is truly an amazing person!
"Great tutor!!!"
- Jamie, Bronx, NY on 8/28/11Lisa is an awesome tutor she has been tutoring my son for 2 years now and is now tutoring both my son and my daughter. She is very sweet and up beat. Lisa makes sure that that my kids understand all of the material and even gets them ready for more advance challenges. Lisa is great with children and has a lot of patience, I cant say enough positive things about her!!!
"Excellent tutor"
- C, Manhasset, NY on 8/7/11Lisa B has provided exceptional help in math tutoring for our son. Given her broad range of knowledge, we would feel comfortable in enlisting her support in any subject. Her warm and patient manner made it easy for our son to fully focus on his work.
"A Nice and Good Tutor"
- Guoming, Norwood, NJ on 8/6/11Lisa is a very nice and patient teacher with broad knowledge base. She teaches students not only the book knowledge but also the real life experience. One thing impressed us a lot was that she took Shane (our son) to a local garden and trained him how to observe the surrounding near you. Shane has learned a lot from her and we definitely think she is a good tutor.
"Saw immediate results"
- Eve, Oakland Gardens, NY on 8/6/11My daughter Alexandra was a straight A - A+ student...except when it came to math! Her math grades would prohibit her from making honor roll even though her overall average was over a 92... because she couldn't get the 85 she needed in 6th grade. That's when we started her tutoring with Lisa. In the third marking period of her first year she finally got in the high eighties and made honor roll again. In 7th grade she started the year of with a 90 average in math...Lisa gave her the skills and confidence she needed to know, she can be a good math student.
"Greatest Tutor"
- Teyona, Bound Brook, NJ on 8/6/11Lisa is reliable and readily available whenever I have a question. She is very flexible and knowledgeable. Patience us a great quality that I attribute to my success with Lisa. She made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely be in contact with Lisa in the near future.
"Good Tutor"
- Yurong, Little Neck, NY on 7/24/11Lisa really teaches well. She doesn't make the lessons boring, she uses interesting material and she helps me with my sentence structure, and using different words instead of using the same simple words.
"Great Tutor"
- Marcela, Yonkers, NY on 6/12/11Lisa is a great tutor! She is very patient,responsible and helpful! She helped me with my English writing and I improved a lot. She teaches you techniques and easy ways to learn. Lisa works with the students one to one and this make is learning very easy! She is very knowledgeable in every subject and encourages you to go beyond limitations and to continue the hard work. I strongly recommend Lisa’s services as a tutor. You can even work with her online. She is a busy tutor, but very flexible.
"A better tutor than I had envisioned in my wildest dreams. Intellegent. Compassionate. Effective. I am overjoyed with her performance."
- Loren, Armonk, NY on 5/17/11Seven months ago I engaged Lisa as a tutor for my wife and two children. Each assignment had separate and distinct requirements calling upon Lisa to provide academic, cultural and character building instruction. I was amazed by the success she had with each student. She was engaging when she needed to be. She brought interesting subject matter unrelated to the assignment which everyone enjoyed and gained knowledge and insight from. She was more than capable of keeping everyone on task which at times required a decided sternness, but never put off any pupil. I have never heard a word about canceling or ending her visits from anyone she has been working with. Lisa has more than demonstrated to me that she is capable of understanding precisely what my goals are for each student. She has challenged my strategies and direction at times, and her comments have been invaluable. For the most part we agree on how to best proceed and Lisa has understood and implemented my requests with enormous success. She never misses an appointment, and is punctual to a flaw, sometimes stays longer than she bills for. I honestly can recommend Lisa to anyone, she agrees to tutor without reservation or hesitation. She's great. We have become friends. Please feel free to contact me personally if you care to discuss my experience with Lisa further.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I feel that each student has unique talents and capabilities, therefore, each requires a customized plan for growth, and accountability.
I provide a memorable session for each of my students. That's why I have close to 860 excellent feedbacks from my students!
That's a lot of happy people! I am blessed to be able to make a difference for all!
"Great Tutor!!"
- Tony, Bronxville, NY on 11/25/10I hired Lisa for the SATs and as a high level SAT scorer (above 2000) I found the methods used by the teacher incredibly helpful. Through patient training, Lisa helped me increase my writing score in a short time. She was very patient and willing to work long hours with me to get the results I wanted. She is also a flexible tutor. Lisa would meet with me at times convenient for me.
She also has a wide area of topics that she is comfortable with. Lisa is able to teach many topics and not simply SAT as I found out.
"Interesting"
- Joviana, Bronx, NY on 9/1/10Lisa B. was not only a very competent, efficient professional Spanish tutor, but she also interacts well with her student. She communicated good experiences in her travels (such as saving animals), which my son found interesting. My son felt at ease with Lisa and by the end of his lessons, he was reading, writing and understanding Spanish better than he did in school. My son looks forward to more tutoring from Lisa B.
"Amazing Tutor"
- Marsell, Woodhaven, NY on 1/12/10Lisa has helped my son Joel in so many ways. I first decided to get Lisa because my son was about to fail Kindergarten and I needed help with his homework because he gave me such a hard time, but Lisa has so much patience and, most importantly, she makes homework time fun time for him, therefore making it easy for him to get his homework done.
With Lisa's help my son made it to the first grade, got his homework done every night and started to recognize letters and sounds. Even his teacher notice the difference.
She is also easy to reach at any time. Easy and pleasant to communicate with as well.
She was worth every penny!
"Very helpful!"
- Robin, Bethpage, NY on 8/8/09Lisa is very friendly and easy to communicate with, both on the phone and in person. After sitting with my son just once or twice, Lisa saw what problems he was having with Italian and was able to help him a lot. She always had lessons in Italian with her if my son did not have specific work that he needed to work on. And she was always able to accommodate us in getting over to our house eventhough she did not live close by. I recommender her for Italian lessons!
"Great Tutor"
- Charles, Buchanan, NY on 7/17/09From the first lesson, Lisa assessed my individual learning style. She continues to identify my weaknesses and strengths in order to focus on improving my skills. Each week she offers stimulating study guidelines and is always pleasant and patent.
"A Clear Winner."
- GIAN BATTISTA, Yonkers, NY on 4/12/09I'm an Italian-American from Yonkers, New York who has had many years of experience in dealing with native Italians who for one reason or another found themselves situated either permanently or temporarily in the New York city region. My experience with them even includes an entire summer in 1981 working as an intern at the Italian Trade Commission on Park Ave in NYC. My experience with this tutor has decisively shown me that this is a flawless individual in her capacity as an Italian translator. Her most notable asset is her initiative, as she translated for me a two page document riddled with American idiomatic expressions in less than three days. On the fourth day, Lisa personally came to my house to assist me in putting the finishing touches on the final draft. Let me be clear here, no Italian in the NYC region with the established translator skills of a Lisa would have rendered in such a short period of time what she produced for me in terms of the quality of the translation or the personal attention she afforded me. For all you out there looking for an awesome Italian translator with reasonable prices, now you know where to go.
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
ADHD
I have been working with ADD/ADHD/Autistic kids and adults for many years. Many are teenagers with attention issues, and hyper-activity, which prevents them from focusing for longer periods of time.
I am very patient and find ways to engage them to learn, at their own pace.
I am working with several Autistic children, ADD Adults, dyslexic adults and teenagers, and ADHD children.
Algebra 1
I have been tutoring pre-algebra and algebra for several years now. I was on the Math TEAM in High School, and we did many competitions with the other schools. I enjoy teaching Math because it keeps my mind sharp!
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
I have been working with Autistic children for several years now. I know how to engage them, gain their trust, and get them to do what I ask.
Many of my children look forward to their lessons. One five year old, told his mother that the best part of Sunday is when he gets to spend time doing a lesson with me. This is an autistic child who has grown tremendously in the past year. To say his parents are happy is an understatement. I also recommend nutrition intervention, since I am Certified in Nutrition.
I am very patient and find ways to engage them to learn, at their own pace. I am working with several Autistic children, ADD Adults, dyslexic adults and teenagers, and ADHD children.
Career Development
I have been counseling adults and young students in many areas, in preparation for their goals. I trained many people in the financial area including setting tangible goals, and ways to measure them.
When I tutor students for specific tests, I always ask what their goals are, and where they see themselves in the future. I have over 20 years of business experience in many different fields, so I can advise accordingly.
College Counseling
With many years of experience in many areas, I would be able to help you with regards to College Counseling. I can help with writing essays for entrance applications, since I know what the Colleges are looking for. I have helped many students, preparing for their entrance exams also.
So if you have a dream to go to College, gather your information and I can help you put it together into a nice package that will appeal to the Colleges.
My background includes Public Relations, writing copy for advertisements, research, and just knowing what people like. So send an email to check for my availability.
Cooking
Many years ago, I was accepted to the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park. Cooking has been my passion for many years. When I was a child, my mother would cook up many delicious dishes, and I learned a lot from her. I did restaurant reviews in New York City, since I had the cooking background, and the writing skills. I even did some business luncheons for clients in which I prepared all the food, and I had over 120 attendees. I still love to read about new recipes, and about natural foods and health.
Dyslexia
I understand the challenges that Dyslexic students have. They are often the brightest students/adults, but have challenges and frustration.
I am currently working with several dyslexic students, and I have seen tremendous growth, and improvement in their confidence level, and ability to accomplish more. I am very patient and find ways to engage them to learn, at their own pace. Often, I will reward them, if I observe a milestone that has been reached.
Having studied how people learn languages gives me the edge with dyslexic students, because I can observe what they do, and work to improve their abilities.
Ear Training
I am a trained singer with experience in the studio. I realized that I could sing when I was seven years old. I was in musicals, and I learned to play several instruments by ear. I can hear two notes and tell you what song it is. Music has been one of my saving graces. I sang in churches with Gospel singers. I can play instruments by ear, without knowing the tune prior.
Elementary Math
Elementary Math is one of the basic components of everyday practical math. Without a good foundation, it can be very frustrating for kids as they go into the higher level math courses. I have a natural way to explain things so that the kids understand the whys and hows. I using visual components that get the kids to think and apply what they learn. They understand, and then get to enjoy math!
ESL/ESOL
I have been teaching ESL students from many countries including China, Japan, Russia, Ukraine, Vietnam, Korea, France, Mexico, Dominican Republic, India, and most Latin American countries. My students enjoy their lessons, and look forward to their next lesson.
I speak three languages and studied five languages, so I understand the challenges of learning a new language.
I am very patient and enjoy working with my students.
GED
I've been tutoring for the GED for close to 5 years now. I know the tricks for the Math section, and my students develop confidence when working with me. It takes time, and practice to pass all the sections. The world opens up when you pass the GED. Doors open, and you are able to do so many things in your life.
Handwriting
I have been working with Elementary children for many years now. I work with them with hand-writing, phonics, and cursive writing as well. I have many techniques which help them with hand coordination, and writing faster and clearer. I studied how children learn languages at New York University, and I apply everything that I know into my sessions.
Linear Algebra
I have been teaching Linear Algebra for three years now. I can teach graphic linear equations, solving them by substitution, algebraically, and by elimination. I was on the Math team many years ago, and I could do the problems faster than any other team members. I also have an extensive Math background due to being in the field of Finances, teaching for the GED and the ASVAB tests.
I am also a graduate of New York University, which has only a 30% acceptance rate. I enjoy teaching all aspects of Algebra.
Marketing
I was a Marketing and Management Major at New York University. I also have over 20+ years of Marketing experience from consumer products, to promotions, sales in various financial areas.
Nutrition
I am Certified in Nutrition by the University of Miami, School of Medicine Continuing Education Division. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from New York University. I hold Certifications as a Weight Management Advisor and Nutritional Wellness Consultant from PROEVITY, Illinois.

I have studied HOMEOPATHIC Medicine, AYURVEDA (Indian), and Chinese Medicines.
I have access to over 20,000 nutritional products, which I have studied, and researched on an ongoing basis.
Phonics
I have been working with PHONICS with students of all ages and levels. Since I understand how we learn languages because I studied Linguistics, I found that this method reduces the time needed to learn. The students who I am teaching using PHONICS improve at a much rapid level and they enjoy their lessons. My students consist of 4 year olds, Special needs students, ESL students from all countries around the world, and adults who are learning to read for the first time. The success rate is excellent and they look forward to their lessons, because they are fun. If you are having fun, you are more relaxed and your mind is like a parachute.........the rest is history.
Photography
I was a Press Photographer for a radio station, two publications, and also several non-profit organizations. I took over 37,000 photographs of people, places, and events. I enjoy capturing the expression on people's faces or a unique shot of a Hawaiian Gran Canyon, a rainbow, or a Maine Coon Cat. I can teach you how to be creative . Although I do know how to use digital cameras, I still prefer the old-fashion film ones. I even was hired to photograph a Bar Mitzvah. That was a lot a fun. So capturing the moment takes some skill, but with a trained eye, you can be a much better photographer!!
Reading
I have been teaching reading skills to students from ages 3 to adults. I use many resources to customize the lessons for each particular student. I make the lessons fun too, so my students look forward to their next lesson. Some of the students that I have taught have included: a 24 year old who dropped out of school and always wants me to extend the session, a father with a son who is in the 2nd grade and the father is not able to read or help his son with his homework, a 1st grader who was in danger of being left back a grade, a man who wanted to get a better job, but could not read, so he could not fill -out his applications properly, a teenager whose parents were in IRAQ and was failing every subject, and so many more.
Spanish
I am a native Spanish speaker and have been teaching the language for many years. Some of my clients are students from elementary, middle and high schools. Others consist of Executives from Corporations who need to learn the language for business or travel purposes. I scored a nearly perfect score on the SAT in Spanish, and I have taught thousands of hours. I am also an New York University graduate.
Tennis
I can teach tennis because I was the number one player in the East Coast (18 and under) when I was 16 years old. I still love the sport, and I enjoy teaching it to the younger generation. I played in competitions till I entered college, and when I was 30 years old, I returned to competitive tennis. I guess, once a tennis player, always a tennis player!
TOEFL

EXPERIENCED, PATIENT, AND COMMITTED to my students
Social Studies
I have been tutoring Social Studies from the 3rd grade level to High School. I have taught students about History, and Global History. I use all the materials that the teachers use to do the lessons.
My students all achieve scores in the 90's because I have ways to simplify the materials, and have them recall much more than they would on their own.
